It is **Happening**! Takes place in 1960s France when abortion was still illegal but it's relevant to today and still a huge debate, obviously. It felt like a realistic portrayal on abortion and being alienated by everyone for wanting it. It has strong themes and opinions on freedom, isolation, empowerment and empathy. The camera close-ups are used to make you feel uncomfortable and trapped. A real life horror with graphic disturbing imagery and a strong lead performance by Anamaria Vartolomei. I'm surprised I didn't get emotional at all though. I was empathetic towards her situation but it felt like the character was cold and underdevelopped, like I barely knew anything about her. Maybe a few more scenes of her actually talking and interacting with others and more scenes with her mother would of done it - then again i'm thinking they wanted to portray a situation instead of a character.
